Scouting Report

+ 2018 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)

8.19.18 - Facing a deep and talented Allegheny Pirates offense Holman was just as sharp as he was two weeks ago as a member of Team Pennsylvania at the PBR Future Games. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound righty sat 85-86 from a high 3/4 arm slot while getting repeated swinging strikes from his curveball at 72/73. Holman's curveball is an advanced pitch with a very high spin rate and a chance to be a difference maker at the next level. The sophomore also utilized a changeup with good sell at 71-73 and a splitter that showed tumbling action at 68-71. He allowed one hit over three innings while striking out four.

12.30.17 - 6-foot-1, 170-pound primary pitcher flashed athleticism in a frame that is just beginning to mature. The freshman sat 80-84 from a high 3/4 arm slot with an easy, repeatable delivery. While it is easy to dream on a ceiling for fastball velocity it is Holman's two secondary pitches that will make him a highly coveted pitching recruit in this class. The curveball is thrown with an advanced spin rate and shows sharp two-plane break at 67-69. Holman also commands an advanced splitter at 66-69 that showed consistent armside run and sink.

The right-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a leg-lift stride. There is some drop of the hands in the load phase, but he manages to get them back to a point of strength prior to launch. Showcased a feel for the barrel and a bat exit velocity of 87 mph. Ran a 7.31 60-yard dash and showcased a soft glove hand and active feet defensively at shortstop.
